Yeah, that blaster is nice and those others are indeed crappy! Does the Luke version of the blaster have that coil on the back the way this Jawa one does though?

Nah... Luke's ESB blaster was virtually identical to Han's ESB blaster except (according to partsofsw.com) for detailing on the side opposite the scope. For action-figure purposes, Hasbro should just make 1 new mold and use it for BOTH characters. I got the WEG RPG books in the early 90s (yet never played! no SW uber-geeks in my area) and saw the prop & wondered "who had the Han Blaster with a coil?!"

PartsofSW said a couple Imperial Officers in ANH had 'em, namely the "TK-421 why aren't you at your post?" guy and his buddy. Not Jawas.

The handle's a little short for figures without trigger-fingers, but it's still great. Far better than the DL-44s we've had for the past several years.

I checked out my 2nd Stormie last night, his legs are narrower than the one at work, about the same as my VOTC Stormie (which has yellowed quite a bit!). Helmet's also looser on the head. DSG head is too big for the TAC neck, Comic Luke's head fits fine of course but the TAC helmet's sturdier than the Comic one so I didn't dare force it all the way on.

I skipped the stores today since I realized I'd be late and thus it'd be pointless... anything good?

Opted out of stores this morning, knowing I'd be online for awhile. Got Obi 12" over the phone after 40 mins or software errors. Operator told me right off their server was down, and when asked, she told me they are honoring reward points for phone orders because of it.

I got mine thru the site, around 10:10 or so after lots of "loading" and one "time out" message.

Looks like HTS restocked the troopers today; clones (Wave 1) were sold out this morning after yesterday evening's McFett & McTrooper restock but they're back. Didn't check at 11:30 tho so I don't know if the McQuarrie figures made another brief appearance.

I also got mine around 10:10am. Didn't have any problems. The first try (to connect to the website) seemed to be taking too long, so I closed it and opened a new window. It took awhile to load the page, but no problems after that.
